The 2011 Brownfields Amendments[1] provide clarity on federal environmental liability protection to facilitate brownfields transactions, but until recently commercial property owners had little guidance on how to maintain liability protection when purchasing sites with continuing environmental monitoring and maintenance obligations.

The growing significance of climate change and carbon financing means it is becoming increasingly important to generically model energy-based assets in a more theoretically consistent and realistic approach. A fundamental feature is supply-demand imbalances and this is modelled by deterministic sinusoidal functions on multiple time scales. This is unrealistic and theoretically inconsistent with scientific and financial models. We propose a new generic model for energy-based assets using Ornstein?Uhlenbeck processes...

With so much at stake, one would expect that EH&S support for business transactions is a finely tuned and closely...
